First Skype Visit Oakridge Intl School India

This is exciting news. I've got the first SKYPE Author School Visit arranged for Thursday 28th March 2013.

I'll be talking to the children of Oakridge International School, Hyderabad, India, and showing them some slides with the characters and scenes from my Kernowland in Erthwurld series.

I'll also be telling them about the work of an author and answering questions.

It has to be at 8.00 a.m. here because of the time difference. It will be 1.30 p.m. at their school in India.

There have been a lot of schools asking for visits but I'm finding it hard to get to all the schools as well as writing the new Thirteen Things series of books. SKYPE visits seem to be a good solution, especially for international schools outside the UK.

These video-link SKYPE visits can be for schools in the UK or anywhere else in the world. I have already physically visited over 1,000 schools in the UK but, using this technology, many more schools can have an author visit.

If you would like my Kernowland adventure stories as ebooks for viewing on your computer or other reading device, the ebooks are currently available via Amazon for less than £2 each. See the banner below for details...

If you prefer printed books, see Kernowland discount offers currently available on our Amazon store:

Our children are so exited to interact with the Author and ask questions to him. A lot of discussion is happening in the class and kids are looking forward to the Skype Session- Anushree, Class Teacher 5E

Hello, Anushree. I am also looking forward to answering the questions and meeting the children in the Skype Session. I have visited over 1,000 schools in the UK and spoken to 200,000 children in my shows and talks. But this will be the first time I have visited a school using Skype. It is marvellous technology! Campion Books have sent some pictures, quizzes, and other resources for the class discussions about Kernowland in Erthwurld to Veena on email. Best wishes, Jack.

Thank you for your comment, Nina. I am curious to know more about Oakridge School and pupils. The more I find out about everything and everyone in the world, the more ideas I have for my stories. I look forward to speaking to you and the other children next week. Best wishes, Jack.

Thank you for your comment, Rohan. I'm very glad that you like some of my story ideas. It is very useful to know that children like you are enjoying the stories. I look forward to speaking to you and the other children next week. Best wishes, Jack.

Thank you for your comment, Sana. It is also my dream to be able to share my ideas for stories with lots of children around the world. Skype means we can do that. It's wonderful. I look forward to speaking to you and the other children next week. Best wishes, Jack.

Thank you for your comment, Chithra. 'Interesting' and 'fun' are two words that I think are very important for learning and I always try to write my stories and make my presentations with those two important words in mind. I look forward to speaking to you and the other children next week. Best wishes, Jack.

This is going to be the first step in technological inquiry using skype. This is my first time, I am very eager to ask you some doubts and questions which are still in my mind. As an inquirer I am very impatient for next week, I hope this session goes well.-Aaryav 5H

Hello, Kiranmai. I am also looking forward to answering the questions and meeting the children in the Skype Session. I have visited over 1,000 schools in the UK and spoken to 200,000 children in my shows and talks but this will be the first time I have visited a school using Skype. Campion Books have sent some pictures, quizzes, and other resources for the class discussions about Kernowland in Erthwurld to Veena on email. Best wishes, Jack.

Hello Sir, We are from 5J and we are looking forward for the Skype Session with you. We have read your book " The Crystal Pool". We liked Melanchol Drym & dribble a lot. We also love Mr. SAND a lot. He is so nice. We thank you to write such interesting and wonderful book. We also thank you for your precious time.- Siddharth, Shawn, Kashish, Arnav

Thank you for your comment, Siddharth, Shawn, Kashish, and Arnav. I'm very pleased that you like some of my characters, both villains like Mr Drym and and heroes like Mr Sand. Dribble the dust-dog is a very popular character with children when I visit schools in the UK. Perhaps it is because they feel sorry for the poor little dog when Mr Drym is so nasty to him. I look forward to speaking to you and the other children next week. Best wishes, Jack.

Thank you for your awesome session through Skype. We learnt a lot how we publish, write a book, advantages and disadventages of writing stories.. Thanks for your time. Hope we will have another skype session next academic year. Thank you-5J

Thank you for your kind comment, Class 5J. I really enjoyed the Skype session and look forward to speaking to children from your school on Skype in the future. Your teachers can ask Jane Bennett at the Campion Books office to arrange it using info@campionpublishing.com. Meanwhile, you may like to try the Activities and Quizzes on our webpages: http://www.jacktrelawny.com/resources and http://www.jacktrelawny.com/quizzes. Best wishes, Jack.

Yes, It was indeed a great session.. Our children are so happy and learnt a lot from your session. Thanks for answering their queries. Thanks a lot for your time.. Hope to have a session again with you next academic year.-Veena

Thank you for your comment, Akshay. I'm glad that you learned a few things about what it's like being an author and for your writing. I hope you enjoy the rest of the 'Kernowland in Erthwurld' series. We'll be adding more quizzes here www.jacktrelawny.com/quizzes if you'd like to try them when you've read each book. I look forward to speaking to you all again next year. Best wishes, Jack.
